Hyperdimensional game! The ultimate aesthetics of violent wizards

"Of course it does matter. If you want to get out, just shut up and follow me."

"Where do you think it went after breaking free from the seal? Wasn't it behind this cave? It has lived here for so many years, so it wouldn't be surprising if it knew the exit, right?"

"If you want to find the Fountain of Life, you can follow this dried-up stream. I guess the end should be the fountain of life." Rhine's words were obviously directed to the people in the church.

"Now, those who want to find the Fountain of Life stand on my left, and those who want to join me in finding the ancient dragon and a way to leave stand on the right (where the church is)." Rhine said to everyone.

Soon, after some discussion.

Those who planned to go with Rhine to find the ancient dragon included Li Jianxian, Baal... and four other Half-Step Gods, while the rest, like the Half-Step God of the Silver Moon Elves, the Half-Step God of the Demi-Human Empire, and the Half-Step God of the Dwarves, stood behind the church.

Obviously, they were more interested in the Fountain of Life than in finding the ancient dragon.

"Then, let's part here for now. I wish you good luck in your military career." After saying that, he took out the compass that Natasha had given him before. The direction pointed by the needle was exactly where the ancient dragon was.

(ps: Lucela is about to appear. She is also a character in Witch's Journey. However, since it is part of the novel, I think few people know her.)

Chapter 253: Arrogance and Pride/Confession of Sins

After entering the cave, everyone found that the wrinkled walls were covered with dense, luminous, fluffy plants. Under the illumination of these luminous plants, the entire passage was illuminated red. Although the environment was still a little dark, it was enough to see the road ahead clearly.

Continuing to go deeper into the cave for a hundred meters, Rhine and others soon came to the first fork in the road.

After sensing the mark on Lucela's body through some special method, Rhine determined that the direction of advancement should be the passage on the left.

The other group of people following behind them chose the passage on the right along the dried-up stream, but they did not go in directly. It was hard to say whether there would be any traps in such an unknown place.

"President Wiseman, please go first." Bishop Cade made a gesture of invitation.

"Tsk, if you're timid, then you're timid. If you don't dare to leave, then you don't dare to leave." After despising the people in the church, he walked directly towards the passage on the left.

But he was caught by Beatrice after taking only two steps. When Rhine looked at her in confusion, she shook her head. "Be careful."

"Got it." Rhine turned on the Eye of Insight and scanned the passage within his field of vision. He was stunned by the feedback data and stood there in a daze.

"What's wrong? Did you find something?" After noticing Rhine's abnormality, Beatrice also released her mental power to sense the front, but found nothing.

"No, nothing. There can't be any mechanism here." Rhine came to his senses and walked to the wall, plucked a handful of glowing plants and observed them carefully. "Let's go."

After saying that, he walked towards the depths of the passage without waiting for anyone's response. Elesis followed him with a nonchalant attitude. Beatrice had no choice but to follow him.

"How come they are more reckless than you? Can we really just walk around in a place like this?" Li Jianxian said to Bal, hesitating whether to follow them.

"Why are you hesitating? Hurry up and catch up." Bal also strode after Rhine.

"Oh, forget it. If the sky falls, someone taller will hold it up." Li Jianxian also set off.

The last two Half-Step God Realm warriors, after much hesitation, decided to withdraw from Rhine's team. After all, the church had more people and seemed safer.

After seeing Rhine and the others disappear at the end of the passage, the church members were still a little worried. Instead, they used various means such as familiars, shikigami, puppets, and clones to explore the way ahead, and after repeatedly confirming that there were no mechanisms or traps, they set out carefully.

"You just let them get there first?" Beatrice asked curiously after catching up with Rhine.

"What do you mean by getting there first?"

"The Fountain of Life, you're not really not interested in the Fountain of Life, are you?" Beatrice asked.

"How can I not be interested? Those are all my property."

The Fountain of Life is the private property of the High Elves, and Natasha inherited the High Elves' legacy. Rhine and Natasha are partners, so the Fountain of Life is the common property of the couple, so it is naturally his property as well.

"You have such a big appetite. It has become your property so quickly? Why don't you say that the entire secret realm is your property." Beatrice complained.

"How did you know? I don't think I told you."

"Okay, okay, they're all your property, so you're just going to let them occupy your property?" Although Beatrice had only a brief contact with Rhine, she felt that Rhine would not be the one to suffer.

"This place is not simple. Let them try it out first." Rhine answered while sensing Lucela's location.

"Of course I know it's not easy, but what if they succeed? After all, the church seems to be determined to win."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. If they succeed, they will write my name upside down." Rhine denied it with a wave of his hand.

Seeing Rhine's calm and confident look, Beatrice didn't know where his confidence came from.

"Old man, how do you know that they will never succeed? Did you set a trap for them?" Bal, who was straightforward, asked directly.

"Hey hey hey! Do you know how to speak, you idiot? We have signed an alliance. A trap that does not violate the alliance is not a trap." Li Jianxian corrected quickly.

"Do you believe me when I say I didn't set a trap?" Rhine turned around and said to everyone.

"Of course we do. After all, there is a clause in the covenant that no one can interfere with anyone else's strategy for the secret realm in any form or by any means."

"If President Wiseman really sets a trap for them, wouldn't that be the same as interfering with their strategy? Such behavior will definitely violate the covenant and be punished."

"But since the covenant has no response, it means that President Wiseman did not violate the covenant. If something happens to them, it is just their bad luck." Li Jianxian analyzed.

"So that's how it is. I was narrow-minded and actually doubted the old man." Bal admitted his mistake with a shameful look on his face.

The others looked at Bal with an expression of "Are you serious?" Because even Li Jianxian, who spoke in defense of Rhine, didn't believe what he said. Even if Rhine didn't set a trap for them, he definitely did something bad.

After all, Rhine has always given people the impression that he is not the kind of person who would suffer losses since more than 6000 years ago. The act of giving up the fountain of life is obviously contrary to his style of doing things.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I really didn't set them up." Rhine said speechlessly, looking at the expressions of the crowd who said "we believe you too."

He was really wronged this time, and the information he said was all true. There were indeed life forms at the initial stage of the divine realm underground in the paradise. This was the result of Laplace's repeated detections using a life detector.

But what Laplace, Rhine, and even Ivan did not expect was that... the life form at the initial stage of the God Realm was not the guardian beast of the Fountain of Life, and the guardian beast was not at the peak of the God Realm, but a demigod, a super-large mythical creature called the Sky Curtain Whale.

The entire park is just a "small town" on its back, and the entrance that Rhine and others came in, the huge vertical passage is actually a vent. The way back disappeared just because the vent was closed. In other words, they are now...

"There is indeed a behemoth at the peak of the divine realm suppressed underground in the paradise. The royal family of the high elves use formations to extract its vitality to nourish the Fountain of Life. The energy needed to support the operation of the entire paradise also comes from the essence and blood of this suppressed behemoth." This is what Laplace once told him.

But in fact, the royal family of the High Elves Era not only deceived Laplace, but also deceived everyone, including the dragon clan.

Whether it was using blood and qi to nourish the Fountain of Life, or using blood essence to maintain the operation of the entire secret realm for tens of thousands of years, these consumptions were a drop in the bucket for the giant beast. There was no such thing as a realm drop due to excessive squeezing, let alone being squeezed dry.

Rhine had always thought that with his years of experience in reading novels and playing games, he had seen through the high elves' plan, and he even boasted that he had seen the truth. But only now did he realize that he was too arrogant and he knew nothing about the high elves' plan.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to obtain the God's perspective of the Eye of Insight, he would never have been able to detect the layout of the high elves. As a result, when he was using the Eye of Insight to detect whether there were any traps in the passage, he accidentally dug up a big mine...

His brain was overloaded at that moment, which was why he suddenly stood there in a daze.

In the past, he always used the perspectives of "routines in novels" and "plots in games" to speculate on the development of this game.

In fact, he overlooked the fact that although this world is a game world, it is not a world made up of data, but a real world. Reality is often more magical than fiction.

For Rhine, the demise of the Era of High Elves did not feel much. It was more like watching a game CG. He believed that the demise of the Era of High Elves was a plot kill arranged by the system.

But for the high elves, this was a crisis of genocide. They had to rack their brains and save their civilization and compatriots at all costs, and countless people sacrificed their lives for this. It is definitely not something that can be summarized by just saying "this is how novels usually develop."

If even Rhine could think of a plot development, how could the high elves not think of it?

How old is Rhine? How high is Rhine's IQ?

How long did the High Elves Era last? How smart were the High Elves?

How does the size of the Rhine compare to the entire High Elf Era?

Not to mention a young boy like him, even if the entire human civilization on Earth were combined, it would be no match for the Age of High Elves.

I don’t know where he got the confidence to say “I’ve seen through everything”, and even after being slapped in the face several times, he still doesn’t repent.

Weakness and ignorance have never been obstacles to survival, but arrogance has. As a player, he has always treated everything in this world with an attitude that is superior to the entire world. To put it bluntly, his heart has not really integrated into this world, but he has always viewed everything that happened in this world from the perspective of an outsider.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have always used the plots of novels and games to substitute for this world. But in fact, most of his confident predictions were wrong, because reality is always more magical than fiction.

During this period, his strength increased rapidly, which caused his heart to swell as well. He seemed a little too arrogant in the way he dealt with things, which is commonly known as being blinded by power.

Other protagonists go through difficult tests while gaining strength, and their souls grow as they overcome difficulties. Their states of mind also gradually change through the trials of various environments.

On the other hand, the process of Rhine gaining power cannot be said to be full of difficulties and dangers, but it can only be said to be completely irrelevant. Although his age in both lives combined is over 30 years old, because his family was well-off in his previous life, his life was smooth sailing. He was still studying until he crossed over. This resulted in him not being baptized by society, and although he got married, his psychological quality was still somewhat immature.

His power increased dramatically, but his state of mind did not improve much. In addition, the power came too easily, and he was admired by Huangmao and others, and affirmed by the God Lord... various factors made him a little lost.

After all, the strongest person in the entire world was only half a step into the divine realm, but it only took him more than three months to go head-to-head with the legend, and he even set an amazing record of crippling two and killing one half-step divine realm master.

With these factors in mind, how could he not be arrogant?

But if we look at the essence of the phenomenon, Rhine's strength is based on the strength of others. If he didn't have the two big "fighters" of God and Brother Jie, and only had legendary combat power, and only had 10 minutes, he would seem to be quite weak.

If it weren't for his identity as the "reincarnated body" of the first president of the Magic Unification Association, you'd see that those world-dominant forces and half-step god-level powerhouses would ignore him, and he might not even be able to squeeze into their circle.

He thought he had seen through everything with full confidence, but in fact, he knew nothing but still pretended to know everything. This blow also made Rhine start to reflect on himself. The more he reflected, the more scared he became. Because after calming down his impetuous heart, he found that he seemed to have been courting death?

Who gave him the courage? Probably the Lord God. Recently, he seemed to have been thinking that he could always ask for help if he couldn't win, which made him act recklessly.

But there is nothing wrong with calling for help. If I can't beat him, can't I call for help? The problem is that I can't act recklessly just because I can call for help. Isn't that the same as those thugs?

"What's wrong with you? You look like you're worried about something." Beatrice asked with concern.

Rhine led the way all the way without saying a word, with a serious expression on his face.

"Nothing, I'm just confessing my sins to myself." Rhine replied.

"A confession of guilt? Did you do something wrong?" Elesis asked curiously.

Her impression of Rhine was that this man was extremely confident; he was able to plan and win battles from afar, as if everything was in his own hands. Would such a person also issue a confession of guilt to himself?

"No one is perfect. My mistake was that I lost my awe for the world, for civilization, and for life. In a word, I have been a little too arrogant recently, and I need to restrain myself." Rhine sighed.

"Puchi...Hahahaha..." Beatrice couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

"Why are you laughing? I'm serious." Rhine said dissatisfiedly.

"No, I just think it's a little strange to hear this sentence coming from your mouth."

"What's weird?"

"Do you remember how you denounced the witches at the academic exchange meeting in the Kingdom of Solcie? You said that they were too arrogant and had lost their sense of awe, but now you are using these words on yourself. What is this?" Beatrice replied.

“………” Rhine thought about it and it seemed to be true. He had nothing to say.

"Well, but I still commend you for realizing your own problem. I was thinking that you might be a little childish because of your age, and I was thinking about whether I should let Victoria talk to you about the principle of breaking easily after a certain age, but it seems that there is no need now."

"What! I'm not childish."

"Okay, I know."

"Bal, did you hear that? Even President Wiseman has figured out the truth about how things are more fragile than fragile. When will you understand that?" Li Jianxian scolded his best friend.

"I'm not childish, I just speak more straightforwardly."

"I told you I'm not childish!"

Chapter 254: The Sky-curtain Beast

"President Wiseman, are you sure we are not going the wrong way? Or do you know how to get there?"

It’s not that Li Jianxian was questioning Rhine, but they had indeed been going around in circles for more than an hour.

Along the way, they encountered nothing except the fuzzy vegetation emitting a faint glow and endless forks in the road. The deep and dark passage seemed to have no end.

"Emmm... There's something wrong with this navigation. It's definitely not my fault." Rhine was also very depressed because the compass Natasha gave him could only sense the general location of the mark and did not have the function of precise positioning.

The passages inside the Sky Curtain Whale are much more complicated than the Chongqing overpass. They are like the dense blood vessels in the human body, winding and interconnected. Even if you follow the navigation, you may get lost, not to mention that his navigation can only track direction.

The most important thing was that Lucela seemed to be constantly moving, making it impossible for him to locate her position, which caused him to go around in circles for more than an hour.

"I see. That means we have been wandering around for more than an hour!" Bal concluded.

"Are you looking for someone?" Looking at the sad-looking Rhine, Elesis walked up and asked.

"It's not a human, it's an ancient dragon named Renate." Rhine replied.

"Maybe I can try to help you." Elesis volunteered.

"Are you sure you can find it?" Rhine still had some expectations for this legendary figure.

“Don’t forget that my protection allows me to listen to the voices of all things.” Elesis said before squatting down, closing her eyes and stroking the ground with one hand.

"What is she doing?" Bal asked curiously.

"Shh, be quiet and don't disturb others." Rhine reminded.

When Elesis activated her ability, an invisible radar wave spread out from under her feet.
